Edgar Corcino joined the Tigers organization after being selected in the 26th round of the 2009 MLB draft. He only appeared in 8 professional games last season, all with the GCL Tigers, because he did not sign until late summer.

Corcino played third base in the Gulf Coast League, but was moved to catcher in instructional league, where he has a chance to be a plus defender thanks to his arm strength and athletic ability.

Corcino’s bat is his biggest question mark. Baseball America says he has “some juice in his bat, as well as holes in his swing.”
